Farmstead, depicted on the OS 1st edition map. It shows three groups of buildings. To the north two recrangular buildings attached to a triangular enclosure. South of these is a group of four buildings with a fifth to the east, and south of these are two rectangular buildings each with an attached enclosure. By the time of the OS 2nd edition 1888 map a number of changes had taken place. Only one building remains in the triangular enclosure. One of the smaller buildings in the central group is now roofless. One of the two southern buildings has been removed and the other is now roofless. This seems to have since been removed although remains of its attached enclosure appear on the current OS map, as do remains of the four central buildings. Only the northernmost building is depicted as still in use, an named Bogingore. A former resident here is linked by local oral tradition to the finding of several artefacts across the Muir of Dinnet (see NO49NW0151 for the full story). Michie in his book 'Loch Kinord - It's History and Antiquities' mentions a William MacPherson who lived here, and who died in 1882, as being a collector of the relics of antiquity.
